Monterrey heads into this third Group E match with two points, after drawing 1-1 with Inter Milan and 0-0 with River Plate . This puts them in third place in the group, and they need to beat Urawa Red Diamonds to stay alive.

A simple victory might not be enough. Depending on the result between Inter and River Plate—who face each other on the same day at the same time—Los Rayados could need to win by several goals to qualify as runners-up in the group or, in the best-case scenario, as leaders.

Japanese side Urawa Red Diamonds are already eliminated after two defeats, but they're motivated after making things difficult for Inter, who barely managed to win with a last-minute goal in the 92nd minute.

With fast and organized players like Ryoma Watanabe and Takuro Kaneko , the team led by Polish Maciej Skorza wants to say goodbye with a victory against Monterrey.

"We're playing against one of the best teams in the world. We're out, but we'll fight to get our first win," Skorza said.

In recent days, it was reported that Sergio Ramos and Sergio Canales did not train together, although they joined the rest of the group in the last session. With doubts for Torrent, this is the possible Rayados XI.

• Goalkeeper: Esteban Andrada
• Defenders: Gerardo Arteaga, Sergio Ramos, Stefan Medina and Ricardo Chávez
• Midfielders: Jorge 'Chorcho' Rodríguez, Nelson Deossa, Sergio Canales
• Forwards: Jesús 'Tecatito' Corona, Lucas Ocampos, and Germán Berterame
• Technical director: Domènec Torrent

Possible Urawa Red Diamonds lineup:

• Goalkeeper: Shusaku Nishikawa
• Defenders: Yoichi Naganuma, Marius Hoibraten, Danilo Boza, Hirokazu Ishihara
• Midfielders: Kaito Yasui, Samuel Gustafsson, Ryoma Watanabe, Matheus Sávio
• Forwards:
• Takuro Kaneko, Yusuke Matsuo
• Technical director: Maciej Skorza
